While Black Friday has seemed to start earlier each year, the past several years have seen it bleed over into Thanksgiving. Cool Springs Galleria looks to deter that trend when it closes Thanksgiving Day and reopens Friday morning.

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., which owns Cool Springs Galleria, announced Wednesday that the shopping mall will close for the holiday and open for one of the biggest shopping days of the year at 6 a.m.

“We want to bring back the excitement of Black Friday shopping as the true start of the holiday shopping season and allow our employees, retailers and shoppers to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with their families,” CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. President and CEO Stephen Lebovitz said in a press release.

Department stores, movie theaters and retailers with exterior mall entrances have the option to open their stores on Thanksgiving, but mall common areas will stay closed until 6 a.m.
